Workplace Readiness

Product Description

Research shows that only 15% of worker success is determined by what they know (hard skills). The other 85% of success is determined by soft skills. Conover® Workplace Readiness is the culmination of almost 40 years of research and development in the area of job readiness, combined with the latest advantages of cloud-based technology. Give your program participants a leg up in preparing for, seeking and securing the career of their choice.

The Workplace Readiness system is recognized by the National Soft Skills Association as an effective tool for assessment and skill intervention of critical soft skills.

Why Workplace Readiness?

For the past century, the cry from employers in this country has been to include soft skills assessment and training when preparing students for the workplace. Today many high school and college graduates lack the soft skills necessary for success in the workplace. This cry has been mostly ignored until now. The Workplace Readiness program was developed to address the need for an evidence-based assessment and skill intervention system for soft skills.
